InterVideo WinDVD program association missing in XP

Have you reinstalled it from the CD It comes on or updated it?

Hello gandrews =)

Can you open WinDVD manually and play some .vob files in it from the DVD??
Or Can you play DVD in another player like WMP ??

I have no problems executing WinDVD and playing the DVD or using Windows Media Player to play it.  It is just the whole automatic thing that is giving me a problem.

Just reinstall WinDVD that should solve your problem

When you reinstall the installation should ask if you want this software to be the default program for certain files and that is where you check off whick files you want the program to default to

Or open the program and fine in its option section which files you want associtated to that prorgram

CrazyOne,

I just reintalled it and I still have the same problem.

Ok what OS are you running and what version of DIRECT X and Does the version of your program and or/hardware support the DIRECT X mechanism that is needed?

Sheharyaar,

Is softpedia web site down I can't seem to get to it?


CrazyOne,

Everything is there to support this.  It was working in the past and now does not.

Oh Ok then have you tried System Restore?>

Of Course you have not said what OS you are using

For XP

Take a look at this MS KB

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/windowsxpsystemrestore.asp

For ME

Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

Description of the System Restore Utility in Windows Millennium Edition

Actually I did in the title for this question.  XP

Sheharyaar,

I could not get to the softpedia web site but I used the Autoplay Repair Wizard from the Microsoft site and it worked like a charm.  

Thanks for you help.

Then Windows Video 9 or 10 should work. It supposedly is compatible with just about every DVD format. Have upated to Windows Videoe 9?

CrazyOne,

No I am running 4.0 which works just fine and came with XP.  It is not a compaitibility issue it is a program association issue.  The autoplay within windows has lost the association.  And the association for this I believe is not simply a file extension association.  Because when I double click on my DVD player (E:\) I get the program association error.  Went I explore the E:\ drive there are no files in the root just 2 directories.  So what program extension do I associate in that case?  I tried to do the File Type association within the Folder Options with no success.

Greg

So the problem is not fixed. Why do you say yes to somebody when the problem was not fixed?

Open Explorer

Start > Run explore

right click on the drive in question then associate from there or use this free program to do the same

CrazyOne,

I said 'Yes' Because the problem IS fixed.  The wizard worked fine.  I'm just trying to answer your questions and clarify your confusions.
